Kotaku has a follow-up to Stardock's recent lawsuit against Alexandra Miseta over what the company alleges was its former marketing manager's role in the shortcomings of Elemental: War of Magic. They have court documents showing that before being sued herself, Miseta had already brought her own lawsuit against Stardock CEO Brad Wardell for sexual harassment, retaliation, and wrongful termination, and that Stardock's lawsuit came three weeks after a judge denied their request to dismiss her case. In addition to details from the sexual harassment case, they offer accounts from an anonymous alleged former Stardock employees refuting the idea that Miseta was responsible for Elemental's failure. They say Wardell has not yet responded to their request for comment on this.

If this is true, my opinion of Stardock just plummeted. And considering that Mr Wardell white-knighted Glenn Beck for saying the President is Racist, and bringing politics into video games, my opinion of him and his company is already in the toilet.

Edit: Having read the linked article, I'm calling complete and utter BS on Stardock. He's basically saying that his company runs without backups, he doesn't archive company email (which I believe violates federal law), and basically is lax, slipshod, and unprofessional. Also, apparently, they've never heard of data retrieval services.
